Tranquil apartment with outstanding terrace
What a beautiful escape this little apartment was! We loved its peace and tranquility. Ostia is a fantastic place to escape from the busy hubbub of Rome and this apartment didn’t disappoint. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the apartment size was just right for my husband and myself. While the shower water temperature fluctuated, being on the top floor more than made up for this minor inconvenience.
The best feature of all is the lovely terrace garden which makes one feel like you are living in another world. The plants, the seating, and the amazing quiet were exactly what we needed after days of full of travel into the city. We discovered the local outdoor market – just a block away from the northwest side of the apartment building - on our last day and fell in love with all the vendors and fresh merchandise. Everything from fantastic meats, seafood, cheese, bread, and locally grown produce can be purchased at the market and make for a wonderful home-cooked meal in this lovely holiday home. Antonella was extremely accommodating, and we were so grateful.
The apartment is situated about 8 blocks from La stazione di Lido di Ostia Centro. Transportation to and from FCO and into Rome can be secured there. Overall, everything was extremely convenient, quiet, and safe. This is my third trip to Rome, and I will always stay in Ostia when I return again. It’s a wonderful, safe-feeling, and quiet community. I can’t recommend Antonella’s apartment enough!
